Day 135 – I realize that for most, life has moved on but for Aubrey, Kevin, Ken, Chloe and our families we are only on day 135 and already on 135. Its a very surreal place to be in life.

In memory of Sydney (123 days), in honor of Aubrey & Kevin, and in sharing an incredible living example of all the Core Values (listed below) I strive to live and share with my clients and in workshops to “harness the power of love”… My oldest and beautiful daughter Aubrey’s wedding anniversary is coming up in May, May 22nd.

- Thich Nhat Hanh, in “How to Love”. I miss her every day, and always will, but I do know and feel that she is with me and there is a peace that comes with that knowing. I want to be...

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYONE that quilts? I am looking for someone local that quilts that would be interested in helping me with a “Memories of Sydney Project”. My goal is to have small patchwork quilts, pillows and possibly bears made out of Sydney’s clothes for family and friends.
